The Brooklyn Nets have decided to put the brakes on Kyrie Irving and his noise. For the last three months, the forward had went backwards. The player had praised Ye and said posted on social media a controversial video.
He tweeted, "Hebrews to Negros: Wake Up Black America" which the Anti-Defamation League claimed that the movie is anti-semitic.
"We were dismayed today, when given an opportunity in a media session, that Kyrie refused to unequivocally say he has no anti-semitic beliefs, nor acknowledge specific hateful material in the film," said the Nets. "This was not the first time he had the opportunity -- but failed -- to clarify."
The freedom of speech and the noise from the leftists and far-right.
The Nets had put Irving on the ice for five games and a possibility of him being removed from the roster.

The Nets said it spent the last several days working with him to "help him understand the harm and danger of his words and actions, which began with him publicizing a film containing deeply disturbing anti-semitic hate."
Irving deleted the tweet and said he takes full responsibility for his actions.
"I didn't mean to cause any harm," said Irving. "I'm not the one that made the documentary."
Of course, conflating Israel to Jews is just as bad. But our dumbass lawmakers and some of the media agitators would love to place that label of anti-semitic on those who criticize Israel or the horrific criminal acts the government on the people of Palestine.
They often want us to believe that "everyone" is picking on Israel. In reality, the Israeli government and their allies are peddling influence on the U.S. government. The government gives unilateral money to Israel regardless of the war crimes.
Anyway, the Nets said that Irving's "failure to disavow anti-semitism when given a clear opportunity to do so is deeply disturbing, is against the values of our organization and constitutes conduct detrimental to the team."
The Nets had said that they will donate $500,000 to the ADL. It's likely coming out of Irving's paycheck.
Ye (Kanye West) found himself without a record deal, 25 major endorsements, his clothing company, his charter school and his wife. He hung out with a bigot like Coondace Owens and he found himself on the losing side of the culture war.
